git gui problem

[Justin Fedick]

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble trying to view the git gui. I'm using OSX and I
can't seem to get the GUI to come up. When I type "git gui" in the
root directory of my project, it the icon comes up in my dock and the
toolbar switches to the git gui toolbar at the top, but the window
never comes up. When I click on the icon at the bottom, my project
address comes up at the top of that menu, but when I click on it no
window appears. Any help here would be great.

If that was unclear (which I'm sure if was), please ask any questions
that you think would help clear up any confusion. I need to get this
back up ASAP so I can continue to work on my app.

Thanks so much,
Justin

I'm not at all familiar with MacOS but I believe wish on Mac
implements the console command as on Windows so you could try adding
'console show' near the top of the file (say just after the line
renaming the send command). This should then give you a way to explore
the running application. If it shows but then fails to paint maybe
it is stuck in some kind of loop. Or maybe a 'wm deiconify .' will
show the hidden main window - sounds like the main window is hidden to
me.
